Hi there...here's an excerpt to teach your cat to sit:

You Can Teach Your Cat To Sit In 10 Minutes!
You can teach your cat to sit in less than 10 minutes. Of course, you'll have to repeat the routine for your kitty to remember it. Repetition and consistency are the hallmarks of all good training.

Place your cat on an elevated surface, such as a table. It may assist you if the cat's back is to a wall. Allow kitty to get a good whiff of your bribe. When the cat shows interest, slowly raise the morsel (you may place the goodie in a teaspoon or between your fingers) along an invisible line from the cat's nose to a point between its ears. Don't raise the treat too quickly or too high over the cat's ears. Say the cat's name, the command, sit, and then click the clicker while presenting the reward when kitty does what you want. Now, praise your smart cat, and pet her.

If the cat isn't following the treat, either your kitty isn't hungry, you're waving the treat too high above the cat or that goodie doesn't smell good enough.

Repeat these training sessions often enough and eventually your cat will sit at your feet whenever he or she is in the mood for a treat. Don't overdo compliance, or you'll have a cat who is training you. Ask friends and relatives to command your cat to sit for a treat. Soon, Kitty will be more outgoing, and more interested in "sitting" for your guest, hoping for the possibility.

I had a cat that would retrieve objects like a dog. We started training her when she was a kitten. You would throw something and she would bring it back! She has now since passed! But you can teach cats to do tricks she just have to do it everyday so that they will remember. Take care. Hope this helps!!!

The only trick I have ever been able to teach a cat is to shake hands.

Cats can play fetch. They will retrieve a toy for you, it takes patience to teach them, like as if you wanted to train a dog. Cats can sit up and beg, again teach it like you would a dog, with a treat. I know, my cat does these things. I've had a cat jump on my shoulder if I patted it, without the nails coming out and sit and stay there for hours. Have fun, they are very smart animals.
